Chapter 213: Award Ceremony

Zhang Weiping looked coldly at Hu Yifei and the Hong Kong people "dog eat dog", but his heart was not very calm. He was also attracted by those good reviews, and secretly watched "Source Code", and sure enough, there was a set. Although I don't think it can be compared with "Ambush on All Sides", Hu Yifei has a good appeal now, and there are always some conflicts. After a little thought, he advanced the release time by a week, just staggering the peak collision, and also allowing "Ambush on All Sides" to dominate the market for a longer time.

There are many more activities at this year's festival, but the most popular films are not Chinese films, but Korean films. Korean films have really improved too fast over the years, and they have left Chinese films far behind. In this film festival, South Korea's "Scandal", "Savage Sister", "The Man Who Watched the Tape" and other films are all very outstanding.

And in domestic films, there are not many outstanding ones. There are obvious deficiencies in the organization of many of the events.

At the time of the "Asian Newcomer Award", which has always been called the "brand" unit of the film festival, the reporter got three different answers from the different materials distributed by the organizing committee. The host said the wrong names of two films in a row, and introduced one less guest during the award ceremony, which made the award presenters from abroad very embarrassed. The highly anticipated domestic film "Jasmine Blossom" has always been expected by everyone, but it was suddenly suspended on the day of the premiere, and when an audience member proposed to refund the ticket at twice the original price, he was brutally treated by a staff member, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

After the organizing committee notified that the first screening of the film would be held at 8:00 a.m. on June 12, the film was suddenly screened at Yonghua Cinema on the afternoon of the 11th...... All kinds of confusion have inevitably greatly reduced the evaluation of the organizing committee by reporters, and also put a lot of question marks on the organizational ability of the only international A-category film festival in China.

"Jasmine Blossom" almost withdrew from the film festival because of this, and it was not officially announced to the media until the day before the closing ceremony. For an A-category international film festival, it is not normal for the entries and judges to suddenly withdraw after the film festival starts.

If there is no "Source Code", I am afraid that this domestic film will be even more discolored.

There is also the French film "Clean", which just won Maggie Cheung the Queen's Award at the Cannes Film Festival, which was screened yesterday as the closing film of the Shanghai Film Festival. Although the film was screened at 8 o'clock in the morning, many audiences still got up early in the morning to watch the "title" of the Cannes award-winning film and Maggie Cheung's fame, and even the American critic David of the Asian Newcomer Award at this year's Shanghai International Film Festival also appeared on the scene.

However, I don't know if Maggie Cheung's ex-husband and director Asiyas's narrative style is too French, or the audience doesn't buy the account of "Clean", and the film didn't win any applause after the screening.

Many people scoffed, "What the hell is filmed, the story is not clear." Why don't you go to see "Source Code", this kind of movie can also win awards? ”

Not only did the audience not give the film any applause, but some media reporters also expressed a slight disappointment with the film. And the director of the film, Asiyas, did not appear at the screening.

Until the end of the film festival, the results of the 16 participating films competing for the Golden Goblet Award were also announced in the smoke.

The last Chinese movie I am looking forward to is "Jasmine" and "Source Code", as far as the movie itself is concerned, Hu Yifei absolutely trusts his own film, even among all the entries. Because in this film festival, there is no film that can be as popular as "Source Code".

But the film festival, after all, art films occupy the mainstream, and he doesn't have much confidence in whether he can win the award. I only hope that I can make some gains in the Asian film unit, and I won't go home empty-handed, so I can't get over some face. Of course, how these judges will choose in the end is not something he can control.

In addition, the only thing that the media has expectations for Chinese-language movies is the "Jasmine Blossom" that is full of style.

If the movie "Jasmine Blossom" is good, it may not be so good. There is no preaching in previous Chinese films, instead of a description of three generations of mothers in a family, but due to time constraints, it is a little thin, and the depiction of women is too sad. The film lacks control over the overall structure and the balance of characters and plot.

Director Hou Yong is a gold medal photographer, if you want to compare photography skills, it is not bad. But in the directing industry, it's not very good. Although the movie gathers Zhang Ziyi, Jiang Wen, Liu Ye, Chen Chong, Lu Yi and other big names, this story is not favored by the audience. Zhang Ziyi played the three roles of Jasmine, Li, and Hua alone, which are grandmother, mother and daughter, which is really enough.

How optimistic is Zhang Ziyi, so that such a heavy responsibility is completely placed on her.

But no matter what, the festival is finally coming to an end.

There were more stars on the red carpet than at the opening ceremony, and almost all the nominated films were in attendance. The invisible stars at the opening ceremony, such as Jiang Wen , Zhang Ziyi, etc., also appeared, and the lineup of "Jasmine Blossom" can be regarded as luxurious. Zhang Ziyi wore a cheongsam, greeted the posture of fans, and looked confident.

Hu Yifei surprisingly did not walk the red carpet this time, but invited Ni Dahong to walk the red carpet with the two beauties. For this decision, Fan Binbin and Lin Zhiling are quite strange, even Wu Xiubo and others are also very strange, but Hu Yifei is stubborn. Looking at the glossy red carpet, a shadow clouded my heart.

It turns out that the red carpet never loses its excitement because of the absence of anyone.

With him or not, it doesn't prevent reporters from taking pictures.

In addition to some stars who have been participating in the film festival, the organizing committee also invited popular stars such as Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli, and Tranquility, and the famous American movie star Meryl Streep added a lot of stars to the entire award ceremony.

The award process of the Golden Goblet Award at the film festival can be described as clean and neat, except for a dance performance at the beginning, the awards have been awarded all the way without stopping, and there is no suspense, so fast that the audience who are used to being hung up is a little uncomfortable for a while.

Finally, it was the turn of the last few awards, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.

The photography award was awarded to Finland's "Brothers" and Sweden's "School Rules", in fact, these two films are not necessarily good to die of the "source code" in terms of cinematography alone. After that, the "Drama Award" was also lost, and as soon as he saw Zhang Guoli, who was in charge of reading out the winners, open the envelope, Hu Yifei in the audience immediately sat up straight.

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 7th Shanghai International Film Festival was ......" Zhang Guoli also followed the practice before the announcement of many awards, and only at this time did he arouse people's appetites, and announced: "It's 'Brothers'", screenwriter Isa Iri! ”

Hu Yifei's hanging heart fell suddenly, until it fell to the lowest point. His brows furrowed, did he want to be swept away by the Upper Shadow Festival when he had the advantage.

It's not impossible! Although Hu Yifei didn't want to believe it, he couldn't help but believe it. Chinese have always been ruthless to their own people, especially when he offended the Hong Kong judges. Although his films have the best reputation among all the released films, who calls the movies labeled as "commercial" again. And in this group of international film judges, they are not very famous, but their temper is not small.

MD, if I had known, I wouldn't have come to participate. (To be continued.) )
